LABOUR'S POSITION.
It is hardly necessary to state that the four Labour representatives in the 'House .now dominate the political situation. They have the Government completely at their mercy. If Sir Joseph -Ward, or his successor, desires to remain in office, he must give' the Labour quartette all they ask for. The position is unique, so 'far as Dominion politics are concerned. Had Mr Massey succeeded in his no-confidence motion, lie would have been in very nearly the same fix as Sir Joseph Ward: Neither of the great parties can carry on without the assistance of Labour, in the present state of" the House. It is obvious, therefore, that an early appeal jnust be made to the country.
